Gem of the Day: I want to introduce all of the Small Pawsers to "Dillie the Deer".



Stay with me here. HA! You will love this as much as I do.

"A veterinarian just doing her job brought a deer back to life and now, almost a decade later, has a friend for life.

Dillie the doe is nearly 4 feet tall, weighs 130 pounds and is quite the kisser.

"She's such a loving animal, so full of love and joy and really a gift to us -- a blessing to us," said veterinarian and Dillie's mother Melanie Butera."


See one of Dillie's news stories.

Watch Dillie's Webcam

I'm in contact with Dr. Melanie Butera, Dillie's Mom and Veterinarian. She knows all about Small Paws and invites you to view Dillie's Webcam. She has offered to let us use Dillie's Book as a fundraiser. Let me know if any of you are interested! The books would be "nibbled and scribbled" (nibbled by Dillie, signed by Melanie), and tell all about Dillie's amazing story, as well as an epilogue telling of Melanie's journey!

I'd like to ask the MMPWSPR (Mighty Mighty Prayer Warriors of Small Paws Rescue) to pray for Melanie, Dillie's Mom, (melbutera@hotmail.com) who is receiving chemo. She is a BELIEVER in the power of prayer!

Dear Small Pawsers,

Small Paws Rescue Online Newsletter, especially to those of you who may have recently seen us on December 11, 2012, on Fox and Friends in New York City , or on Animal Planet on "Dogs 101.", or you may have read about us in Chicken Soup for the Soul: Find Your Happiness, 101 Stories about Finding Your Purpose, Passion and Joy . You also may have seen us on "Inside Edition" with Deborah Norville!

If you missed our previous newsletter, here it is.

We've taken in two separate rescued Bichons from two separate North Texas shelters and BOTH of them are missing an eye. (We've only got one working pair of eyes between the two of them).

One of them was hit by a car and the other one has bladder stones AND is heartworm positive. OF COURSE HE IS!

Meet "Blinkie" and "Jazz". They have never met each other, but man, it is odd when we get in a one eyed Bichon, much less two at the same time!

"Blinkie"

I was contacted today by the shelter where my Ferguson came from. Last week someone brought in a male bichon that had been hit by a car. His right eye was hanging out and they took him to an emergency clinic to have the eye removed. The clinic did X-rays to see if there were other injuries and there was not, but they did see about 8 or 9 stones. They can email me the X-ray on Monday. They estimate him to be about 5 yrs old. Good temperament. Can we get him?

And meet "Jazz"

Hi Bonnie,


"Jazz"

Jazz is approximately 3 and weighs 13 lbs. He is HW+ with Upper Respiratory Infection. He has already been neutered. His left eye had been removed at the shelter due to injuries and an abscess. He is at the Colleyville Animal Hospital effective today 4/20.

Thank you

Co-Team Lead N Texas

It will run about $1500.00 just to vet and quarantine these two Bichons and there are many others needing help.

Can you help us to help these precious one-eyed Bichons? What would the chances be of two of them coming in at once?

Prayer Requests and Reports

>Subject: Prayer Request for My Mitzi
Date: 4/19/2013 8:17:16 A.M. Central Daylight Time
From: KINGSALL3@aol.com

Please pray for my heart dog, Mitzi. The vet ran blood a panel last week because she
suspects Cushings:( The results show Mitzi's kidney function tests are elevated and Cushings has not been ruled out. The Dr. wants her to go on KD food and have a "Dex" test run. We have an appointment with a HOLISTIC vet this afternoon so please pray for a
GOOD REPORT :)

Thanks a bunch,
Sharon King
Ohio/Ky Team Leader

Thanks for your prayers. This vet doesn't think she has Cushings but is concerned about a pancreatic problem due to high lipase and triglycerides. He put her on a low fat diet along with a few other things and will retest her in a month:) So glad that he doesn't think it Cushings and praying for a good test result in a month :)

Dear Robin and Fellow Small Pawsers,
Our precious Harley, our first Bichon, has gone missing! My husband, Tom, who has Alzheimer's, left the door open and Harley wandered out. We have just moved and he is unfamiliar with the area. This happened Sunday evening. On Monday I had to be in surgery at 5:30AM, so we had no chance to search for him since Sunday. We have put up posters and asked everyone in our complex to no avail.
Please, Robin, would you ask our MMPW's to pray for him to be safe and sound and, if God wills, back home with us? They did it before and I pray that they can do it again!
We are beside ourselves and Tom feels so guilty for forgetting the door.
Thank you and God Bless You!
Jeri and Tom Danielsen>

Rascal is okay! Praise t he Lamb and thank you all for your wonderful prayers!

Ultrasound revealed no tumors, no clots, no masses-nothing. The Dr. gave me a copy too.

I am so doing a happy dance!!

Again, I thank you for your love, support, concern and your PRAYERS. Our God is an awesome God!

Helen, Resi and my best bad boy, Rascal>

>When these folks applied to adopt, and we asked how their Bichon was killed by a car, this was their response. We hear this on an average of once a week.

(These are NOT Bichons adopted from Small Paws.)

PLEASE don't take a chance with the life of your Bichon!
We do not adopt to people who allow their dogs to run loose.

Subject: Re: Small Paws Rescue

We had him for the last five years, He is very obedient normally when we say "stay" he will stop wherever he is, so some times we are used to play with him in the yard for he loves to run around the yard in circles, during that time we did not put him on the leash, this particular day he was not on leash and did not yield to the command when he saw some dog across the road. It took off so suddenly the on coming driver did not have time to stop the car. That is how it happened.>


Humphrey Sisco
Dec 26, 1993~ Aug 30, 2006

When I first saw this beautiful picture of Cheri Sisco's "Humphrey", I thought it was truly the epitome of what we do, and why we do it. I wanted to use this black and white picture of Humphrey, taken only days before his death due to congestive heart failure, to let those who may be new to Small Paws, know what we do and why we do it. Without Small Paws, Humphrey would have never known love. He would have died in a kill shelter, sick and alone. Because of Small Paws, and Cheri Sisco, he lived, he loved, and he smiled.
